Hi,
Chiang Rai continues to have cold nights and hot days. I don't know how it manages to go to such extremes, but it does. Today was pretty mellow. Life should be that way sometimes.
That 'Easy' song you didn't know was "Play With Fire" by The Rolling Stones. I guess we'll just have to call the mid week song 'Wild Card Wednesday' since no one has sent me a year to focus on. So this is from 1966, by Americans:
"I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and the way the sunlight plays upon her hair. I hear the sound of a gentle word on the wind that lifts her perfume through the air. I'm pickin' up __ __, she's giving me the excitations..."
Hint: This was the third hit single by this SoCal group that focused on the beach in their early years. This epic suite changed 'pop' music, since it really didn't fit into any of the categories of the day. The title became part of our language.
This morning I got a massage from Khun Joy. It went amazingly well, meaning I didn't cry out in pain every five minutes. (555) After my appointment we went across town to the bank. Our friend Bobby wasn't there, but a very nice young man handled our transactions. Bobby is on 'holiday'. Then I remembered that this is graduation week at Maefarluang University and he is getting his MBA degree. That's very cool.
We're starting to see special billboards and posters about the 750th Anniversary celebration. One of them is comprised of many photos of early Chiang Rai, blown up to giant size on a billboard at Mengrai Square. We've seen the photos in a shop on Clock Tower street. The shop owner has a tiny little place filled with local town memorabilia.
This afternoon we finished packing all of Lisa's artwork for the trip to Chiang Mai. Now it's just a matter of getting the printing of the other elements of the show finished. Trying to promote a show remotely is not an easy thing, what with the language barrier and not knowing the city so well. We do have friends that can help and that's what it's all about. There are people from Chiang Rai who are planning to drive down for the opening. That is going to be great support. Can you tell? Excitement is in the air.
Tomorrow we will have a goodbye lunch with our friend Atom.
Here comes Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
